5 3 Obviously our grandfather was very beloved... Obviously our grandfather was very beloved by the Polar winter and by the campfire, if now the fretful smoke arouses ecstasy from the soul! But that love was not simple; it was weighty, like the mountain Karnosurt. My grandfather knew that the tundra is pure, and he did not know about fluorine and oil residue. Gramps loved the far-off trails, he built boats, he sharpened axes, he caught fish on Notozero Lake, he pastured reindeer near Tevlik Mountain. He was a precise master, he couldn’t stand the smell o f extravagance, and he was no stranger to handicrafts! And - he was a talented herdsman!!!
